How do you play the game?

[unmerged(173531)]

For a replayable quest you can try this user created map http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=441508 It's only one quest but I think he did a great job adding some random elements to it. Regarding gambling halls in Majesty 1, did anybody actually let their heroes use them? I always placed a 100g flag on the gambling hall and elven lounge as soon as they popped up so my rogues would destroy them.

They did serve a purpose. There are quests one might not want their heroes exploring until they were ready. They also acted as an extra buffer between invading monsters and the palace. I rarely destroyed them unless they were in the way of something I needed to build.


I don't have sufficient privilege to access that link.

That's because your game isn't registered.

Loyalty was a big part of strategy in Majesty. I don't see it in this game. But then again I haven't played any MP.

There is no "Loyalty" paremeter in MFKS2; all heroes only target your enemy at all times. No more making enemy rogues attack their own kingdom for the right price...

I registered my game...now.

I didn't realize I hadn't already.

They also acted as an extra buffer between invading monsters and the palace. I rarely destroyed them unless they were in the way of something I needed to build.

Ditto. Most heros went to them if they were low-level and/or had nothing else to do, I noticed. So I kept my heros busy (or they did themselves, defending the guild/realm/whatever ). Only when my town stablized and I needed the space 'cause I was already surrounding it did I start to destroy them.

Got your PM, BTW... I do remember Tiger and housefish; the latter pops up on Heroes of Ardania occasionally.

 

[Hassat Hunter]

Well, if heroes lack money they also don't visit gambling halls (don't recall cost) or the Elven Lounge (costs 100 gold). I generally whack them too with a flag, however that doesn't work with statues or a royal garden.

Statues could be destroyed, flags placed and then rebuild, but there is a bug in the Royal Gardens that destroying it doesn't lower "loyality" (or at least not as much as it raises) meaning Rogues still don't respond to a 100 gold flag .

 

[Spiderman]

You shouldn't need statues in a SP game though.

 

[Hassat Hunter]

There is this mission called... THE SIEGE .

 

[Spiderman]

True, but one mission out of how many? 95% of the time, you're not going to need statues...

 

[Hassat Hunter]

True, but that doesn't mean you never *get* statues. See also "The Mighty Dragon", "The Dark Forest" and I probably forgot some.

 

[Spiderman]

Hm. I probably didn't worry about it too much with those since they definitely get destroyed more often than not and I don't have to do it myself (Dragons and Witch King spider horde, respectively). There, they serve their buffer purpose...

 

[Hassat Hunter]

Yup. But if you start with a Royal Gardens ("Legendary Heroes") it's easily noticable that it's loyality effect doesn't dissipate after being destroyed when rogues refuse to destroy the Elven Lounge/Gambling Hall for even 2000 gold .

It's also a pretty severe issue for MP; but we never get patches anyway... and it's not like MFKS MP is popular...

 

[Spiderman]

Yeah, I just did that mission once and don't have a desire to do it again...

:rofl: Cyberlore was doing its best to kick the backsides of its loyal Majesty fans. It's kinda fun to take out those buroughs, win the game and then continue play to see if anything is left standing. Same with Spires of Death.

 

[Hassat Hunter]

Yeah, mopping up the Legendary Heroes quest is more fun than the quest itself, which is just plain annoying.

 

[Spiderman]

Yeah, I don't mind the different "win" conditions, but it's a good thing that's the only one of its type. I knew my town was going down afterwards so I didn't bother to keep playing
